While the match has not been made official yet, we all know that Bayley's next opponent for the SmackDown Women's Championship will be a certain individual named Lacey Evans. Evans has grown by leaps and bounds since she arrived at RAW and SmackDown from NXT but the fact of the matter is that even she cannot take on two opponents at the same time and will need backup. This is where Carmella could certainly step in!

Carmella was incredibly over when she was aligned with R-Truth and ever since the pairing was broken up, she's hardly been doing anything at all. It may make sense to bring her back and have her take on the heel duo of Sasha Banks and Bayley, providing some backup for Lacey Evans. As Carmella has proved in the past, she can do wonders both as a babyface and a heel, and this time, she could get the push that she has always deserved.
Even if Lacey Evans does not become the SmackDown Women's Champion, the duo of Lacey Evans and Carmella could certainly take Kairi Sane and Asuka on, for the titles. Or Charlotte and Becky, based on who wins.
